Hamburgbukta

Hamburgbukta (English: Hamburg Bay) is a one-kilometer-long bay on the western side of Hoelhalvøya, Albert I Land, Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago.

The French were the first to occupy it in 1633, calling it Port Louis or Refuge Français.

On the southern shore of the bay they built a whaling station.

In 1818, a British expedition, while anchored in Magdalenefjorden, which lies just to the north, they met Russian hunters from Hamburgbukta.

One of the British officers went with them to the bay, where he found that they had built "a comfortable wooden hut, well lined with moss, divided into three compartments".

Hamburgbukta lies just below Magdalenafjorden ( j ), on the peninsula, Hoelhalvøya, that forms its southern shore.
